About DPA Microphones d:fine CORE 4288 Headset Mic, 3-Pin LEMO, 120mm, Black

It epitomizes the fusion of DPA's renowned sound quality and the versatility of the d:fine headset system, the d:fine CORE 4288 Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone stands out for its exceptional clarity and vocal consistency. Engineered with the high-end 4088 Directional Capsule, this headset microphone is a top choice for professionals seeking superior voice intelligibility and the ability to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion. Whether delivering a keynote speech or performing live vocals, the d:fine 4288 captures every nuance with precision.

The microphone's design ensures outstanding off-axis rejection, making it highly effective in isolating the speaker's voice from ambient noise. This feature is particularly beneficial in live performance settings where background sounds and the potential for feedback are prevalent. The d:fine 4288's directional characteristics are further enhanced by its tailored bass response, which maintains linearity when positioned optimally from the sound source, thereby minimizing unwanted noise and feedback.

Crafted for comfort and minimal visibility, the headset is lightweight, flexible, and can be easily adjusted to fit any ear size and head shape. The secure two-ear design ensures stability during active performances, while the discreet profile keeps the focus on the performer, not the equipment. The boom and ear hook can be rotated, allowing for quick adaptation for use on either the left or right ear.

The d:fine CORE 4288's 120mm boom length is meticulously calculated to position the microphone at the corner of the mouth, avoiding "popping" sounds and ensuring clear audio capture. The headset's modular design includes a detachable cable with a 3-Pin LEMO connector, facilitating easy repairs or replacements, as well as compatibility with a wide range of professional wireless systems.

CORE by DPA technology elevates the performance of the d:fine 4288, offering an extended dynamic range of 14 dB and ensuring an open, transparent sound quality. The IP58 certification attests to the microphone's robust build, featuring a water-repellent nano-coating, hermetically sealed amplifier, and dual gold-plated diaphragm for unparalleled durability against the elements.

The cardioid pickup pattern of the d:fine 4288 is engineered to capture sound with maximum sensitivity at the front while significantly reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This pattern is ideal for live stages, as it focuses on the intended sound source and minimizes bleed from surrounding noise. The DPA capsule technology ensures that off-axis sounds are not colored but simply less pronounced, maintaining a true sound stage.

DPA's innovative adapter system offers unmatched flexibility, allowing the microphone to be used with a variety of wireless systems. This adaptability means that the investment in the d:fine 4288 is future-proof, as it can easily be integrated with new or existing wireless setups without compromising sound quality.

In summary, the d:fine CORE 4288 Round Directional Flex Two-Ear Headset Microphone is a professional-grade audio solution that combines durability, adaptability, and the highest standards of audio fidelity, making it an indispensable tool for performers and speakers in any demanding audio environment.
